Veteran Nollywood actress Shaffy Bello has stirred public reactions after sharing her views on women involved in commercial sex work, saying she does not judge those who engage in it for survival.
Speaking on a recent episode of The Moraya Show, Bello explained that some women enter such situations due to financial pressure and urgent responsibilities.
According to her, while she does not condemn them, she believes they should handle it with dignity and not remain in it permanently.
“If what you are doing now is being a ‘runs girl’ to make money, you don’t have to stay there. I understand it, I never judge. If you go be ash*wo, do am well. Do it well with respect and your full-chest,” she said.
She, however, cautioned against making it a long-term lifestyle.
